It’s the first night of New York Anime Festival. So far everything seems fine. However, the concern about last year seems to be this year’s as well. The convention ends to early in the evening, 9pm, which is not a late convention compared to other conventions that usually ends at 2 in the morning (such as Otakon and I-CON). Then again, in its New York City, the city that never sleeps! I did last year recommend Reed Exhibitions, the operator of NYAF and New York Comic Con, to leave the Javits Center and move to another location. The suggestion of location was Time Square, such as the Marriott Marquis. Anime Expo and Big Apple Anime Festival were there and I thought it was at a great location I expressed to them. There are Pros and Cons with the location, such as the Javits is closer to Penn, and Times Square has more hotels and places to eats. I think you would say that to any con, large and small, there is going to be pros and cons. We were unable to do the first podcast because the Con Goer’s podcast co-host, Fred, was not able to show up Friday. We will be doing a podcast tomorrow right from our hotel room. In February, we are planning to record audio podcasts at the convention floor of New York Comic Con at the Podcast Arena.

Another major accident on Sunrise Highway on Long Island at the Oakdale Connetquot merge. The vehicle involved with the accident is a tractor trailer, which overturned and knocked down a power line which supplied power to Oakdale and some parts of Bohemia. According to WRAJ Internet Radio, which has been keeping track of major accidents and road closures since 2005, says that this is the worst its seen this year, while reporting 32 accidents this year so far, which a few caused road closures.
This resulted in road closures and power failures. And for the fourth time this year, the eastbound and westbound was closed. The road was reopened sometime after 7pm but was closed again into the late night. At our 1:30am inspection of Sunrise Highway this morning, the highway is still closed from exit 46 to exit 49 eastbound and westbound, according to officials.
Vidgle’s and WRAJ Internet Radio’s offices lost power instantly after the crash at around 3:30pm Thursday. According to Maria O’Connell, WRAJ Internet Radio’s relations director, said that it caused the headquarters of WRAJ and Vidgle to have no power for over 7 hours. “The lightpole that was hit by the tractor trailer is only 10 poles down the street from us,” O’Connell added. The light pole that was hit is the lead pole for cables to cross the 8 lanes of traffic of Sunrise Highway. “The power company and Verizon also had to replace their cable from the lead pole.”
WRAJ Internet Radio also identified of what might be the location of the accident, as seen above. The location is the on-ramp from Pond Road to Sunrise Highway westbound. WRAJ Internet Radio reported similar accidents like this in the past when the light pole was hit in 2006 and 2007. WRAJ Internet Radio is assuming, by previous similar accidents, that the tractor trailer was on the service road and lost control at the fork of the service road; in which one way leads to a stop sign to Pond Road South so drivers can get back onto Sunrise Highway or to go northbound onto Pond Road leading to Sycamore Avenue.
WRAJ Internet Rado is the sister website of Vidgle, which has been operating since 2002. Satellite image courtesy of Google Earth.

Hey guys! While typing this the con isn’t over yet. My feet hurt so I’m resting up and figured I could type a blog entry too. Otakon has been a lot of fun. I interviewed quite a few interesting people. My favorite has to be the L with all the sweets spread out on the table. Also, the Batman villains group. Its always fun when the cosplayers are in character. :]The dealers room was pretty good this year. I didn’t think I would find merchandise of the manga series I love, Ichigo 100% (also known as” Strawberry 100%”). I was able to buy three plushies and three small figures. They’re so adorable, I just love them. The dealers room has a lot of mainstream things (Naruto, Death Note, and Bleach for instance) so I was very happy to find obscure things. The most random, obscure thing I found at the dealers room had to be a Deady plush. Deady is one of Voltaire’s characters. So as a big Voltaire fan, you can imagine how happy that made me :D The artist alley was filled with lots of cute, funny, and interesting things. I bought a dark Pan’s Labyrinth bookmark from Cari Corene. It has Ofelia and the faun on it. Definitely going to use it for manga andmwhen I reread the sixth Harry Potter book for the movie!On Thursday, I was amazed by how fast the Pre-reg line was moving. I was very impressed to see that Otakon kept things rolling smoothly. Overall, I really like this year so far. ^^ better had back to the con!
